Natural farming will address challenges in agriculture such as decreasing soil fertility, moisture and long-term sustainability and the increase in farming costs, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a social media post on Wednesday (December 3, 2025).

“Over the past few decades, the rising dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides has affected soil fertility, moisture and long-term sustainability. At the same time, farming costs have steadily increased. Natural farming directly addresses these challenges,” the Prime Minister said.
He said the use of traditional bio fertilizers such as Panchagavya, Jeevamrit, Beejamrit, and mulching protected soil health, reduced chemical exposure, and lowered input costs while building strength against climate change and erratic weather patterns. “I encouraged farmers to begin with ‘one acre, one season! The outcomes from even a small plot can build confidence and inspire larger adoption. When traditional wisdom, scientific validation and institutional support come together, natural farming can become feasible and transformative,” he said.
